The Stoneblade is based on a Japanese Kiridashi design, a sort of stripped-down, go-anywhere pocket knife.
Specs: It measures 12.7cm in length, with a cutting edge that is 5.1cm long and a ~6mm spine thickness.
These knives are shaped from W2 carbon steel, a popular knife-making choice due to its lasting toughness and exceptional edge retention.
The rough shape of the blade is cut by hand, then we take it to the grinder for shaping. As flecks of white-hot metal fly, the knife comes to life. The surface of the blade is faceted on the grinder, creating a unique texture resembling stone.
Each blade is hardened and tempered for a balance between toughness and edge retention. Once the body of the knife is complete, it goes to the wet-stone for a razor-sharp edge.
A handcrafted vegetable-stained leather sheath provides the perfect storage.
This is an outstanding every-day carry knife that’s as comfortable around the house as it is in the outdoors.
These knives have an asymmetrical grind, so they are not ambidextrous. Refer to the ordering notes below for instructions on getting a right or left-handed blade.
